I’ll be at Target–crying!
Tomorrow is the first day of school. My girls are home with me this year and my little is in preschool (3 days a week) and my big is starting middle school.
When my big kid decided to finish out 5th grade with his sibs–I was ok with that. Well, may be not. But I know that it was the best choice for him.
Now he will be away all day at a school that I will probably only be working lunch duty at his new school. . . a drastic change from my previous involvement.
So today is our last day with us all together. It is also my little’s birthday. So we had an awesome morning together and are gearing up for dinner and a cake the girls made and decorated all by themselves (a Lego Ninjago cake).
On our way home the girls asked what they will be doing tomorrow since it is the boys’ first day of school. And without skipping a beat my “old”, wise, funny son said, “you’ll be in Target–and Mom will be crying”, he went on to explain the first week of school I cry but it gets less and less each day until it is only at lunch that I cry.
All of that is true. I do go to Target on the first day of school–I have since his first day of preschool 8 years ago! I do cry everyday and I do often cry at lunch.
I’m not afraid to cry and tell my kids I miss them. I did promise my big that I wouldn’t fuss over him.
Ok, now I’m pre-crying as I write this! God help me.
